Come away with me

I bought Le Jasmin and Grand Amour in small bottles recently. Trying Le Jasmin first I was underwhelmed, perhaps this Jasmin was not for me with its banana skin (intact, tough and slightly green) undercurrent and the gingerbeer on top. I left it until it began to fade and sprayed a couple of Grand Amour puffs on top. They combine beautifully; it's the way I'm using them, but for the purposes of this review I will try to convey my feelings about Le Jasmin solo. Feels natural, like scented tea; I feel calm wearing it, it suits me I know and yet I want…more. It really does fade too quickly, others have said it. It's a little tropical, but more like early morning sub tropical. It's been discontinued once and then revived, so perhaps it will be again. It's one of the prettiest skin scents you will find and when some benchmark jasmines are sick-making this is entirely suitable for an early morning bus ride. A jasmine for those who are very sensitive to fumes is welcomed by me. There, it's a homeopathic jasmine, a Rescue Remedy.

Note to Missk's review, I wonder if she has the EDP. I have the EDT and it is lighter than indicated by her comments of 'heavier and spicier'

Iso-E-super Jasmine?

I swear that I smell at least as much iso-E-super as jasmine in Annick Goutal's LE JASMIN. The inevitable result is that I am reminded very much of a variety (near infinity...) of men's colognes while wearing this perfume, ostensibly for women. That tell-tale pseudo-cedar scent abounds here and makes me wonder why it should be mucking up the clear, pristine jasmine waters.

Like LE MIMOSA, LE JASMIN is not a true soliflore at all, for it features just as much "other stuff" as the flower featured in the name. By the drydown, magnolia seems very obvious--which is fine, but it definitely detracts from the divine jasmine which many may be seeking in opting for a perfume called LE JASMIN.

In this case, the overall result is less than felicitous to my nose, probably because I know that there are much, much better jasmine soliflores out there, and much better perfumes, period. It certainly doesn't help that I find flagrantly detectable iso-E-super rather annoying by now. It's all right as a booster, but as focal note? No, thank you.

For my jasmine fix, I'll stick with Molinard JASMIN or (in my dreams, if I ever acquire a bottle...) Montale JASMIN FULL, both of which are much better than this disappointing Goutal launch.

Fresh jasmine and ginger ale

Think jasmine essence, ginger ale and freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 'voila!' you have Le Jasmin.

I'm truly enchanted by this fragrance's unique approach and sophistication. However it did take a while to become accustomed to this fragrance because it's a little heavier and spicier than what I expected. Do not assume that this will be an ordinary jasmine-based floral because you will be very wrong in that assumption.

The way in which Le Jasmin has been constructed shows that Isabelle Doyen intended that this fragrance should be complex and exotic. I disagree that Le Jasmin is a soliflore, I get much more than jasmine from this fragrance. This is rich, green, spicy and fizzy jasmine at its very best.

In fact, Le Jasmin is a reproduction of jasmine in its purest and most raw form. The sharp greeness that you experience in this fragrance is very reminiscent of jasmine blooms in the Spring just after a drizzle of rain. Fresh and luscious to the senses.

I applaud Annick Goutal from avoiding the additives of sweet notes and musky undertones which would only make this fragrance like all the rest which are boringly creamy or sweet jasmine scents.

For something very, very different you just can't ignore this fragrance or the Annick Goutal line for that matter. With excellent lasting power and such expensive and exquisite taste I don't think anyone could resist.
